Gebura — Episode 2Location: The Library – Floor of LanguageRoland(Servant)Hmhmm. You there, ma’am? I’ve brought you a few books, ma’am.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland1"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Leave ‘em there. I’ll take a look in a bit.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura1-01"Roland(Servant)I am very, sincerely sorry for my insolence earlier, Miss Red Mist, ma’am.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland2"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Cut the flattery. You and I are pretty much in the same shoes here.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura2"Roland(Servant)…Are you actually the Red Mist?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland3"Roland(Servant)I heard a lot of stories about her, but I never really got to meet her since we worked in completely different areas of the City.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland4"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Believe whatever you want. The whole ‘Red Mist’ buzz is nothing but a hollow shell now.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura3"Roland(Servant)I mean, not that I don’t believe you or anything.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland5"Roland(Servant)It just feels unreal that a legendary Fixer is standing here with me.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland6"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)I died trying to protect my colleagues in my first life.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura4"Roland(Servant)In that laboratory in the Outskirts?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland7"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Yep. And as my second life, I was woken up in Lobotomy Corp. with a blurry memory of the past.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura5"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Where was your zone of activity, anyway?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura6-01"Roland(Servant)East of the City.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland8"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)I was on the western side. No wonder we never ran into each other.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura7"Roland(Servant)I got a question about one of the legends of The Red Mist. Do you take questions, ma’am?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland9"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)What is it?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura8-01"Roland(Servant)The one about slaughtering five Proxies of the Index alone.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland10"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Ah, the Index… Been a while since I heard one of those rancid titles of the Backstreets.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura9"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)The vexing memories…Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura10-01"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Yep, I did. I took down five Proxies and three Messengers of the Index, to be precise.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura11-02"Roland(Servant)Damn, you really are awesome, ma’am.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland11"Roland(Servant)I didn’t say anything about the Messengers just to make sure, and you got that right too.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland12"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Ten years have passed in the outside world since I disappeared, I heard.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura12"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)The City and the Backstreets are still the same as before, aren’t they?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura13"Roland(Servant)As in dirt-poor people killing and stealing from each other, and living in constant fear that someone might assault them?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland13"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Damn, so it’s no different.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura14"Roland(Servant)Pretty much. The tools and methods may have changed from ten years ago, but basically the same sort of things have been going on.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland14"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Laughable, isn’t it? I went through all the heavy hassle hoping to change that, and it was to no avail.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura15"Roland(Servant)But, there’s a new sandwich franchise called HamHamPangPang that’s been expanding into each district of the Backstreets lately, which has been a huge boost to the quality of life!Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland15"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)The venue you were planning to visit for a special sandwich before you got kidnapped here?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura16"Roland(Servant)Ngh, yeah. I’m still salty over it…Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland16"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Glad to hear that there’s been some improvement at least.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura17"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)…I hate the Backstreets. As someone born in those slums, every single day of surviving through it was living hell.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura18-04"Roland(Servant)What district were you from?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland17"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Twenty-three.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura19-01"Roland(Servant)That’s more than understandable.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland18"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Thinking about all these old memories is giving me heartburn. Maybe I should go fetch some liquor from Netzach.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura20-01"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)I’ll sort out the books you brought myself, so you can go now.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura21"Roland(Servant)Alright, you don’t seem to be in the mood to talk anymore, anyway.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland19"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)Oh, and… thanks for the books.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura22"Roland(Servant)I’m just doing my job.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland20"Roland(Servant)And one more thing.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland21"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)What now?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura23-01"Roland(Servant)Can I, uh, join you in borrowing some alcohol from Netz?Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_roland22"Gebura(Patron Librarian - Language)If you insist.Audio: "ch8_Gebura_ep2_gebura24-01"
